The Tiny Taskmaster MQC achievement has been removed, as it's been superceded by the New Varrock achievements.

An achievement has been added for the Menaphos insects of the desert collection. It (and the other Menaphos collections) do not count toward the Taskmaster total, so it's not a completionist requirement.

An achievement has been added for squishing up to 200 corrupted scarabs. Progress has been tracked since the Menaphos release. This does not count toward the Taskmaster total, so is not a completionist requirement.

The Slay Bells Ring II, 'Phite for Your Right II and Game of Tombs II achievements have been removed from the Menaphos Pyramid Scheme achievement required for completionist cape, since they were not required when Menaphos was released.
